Description

Explore the scientific impact of one of the 20th century's leading astronomers with Zdenek Kopal's Binary Star Legacy. Published by Springer, this volume commemorates the work of Professor Kopal, who dedicated 60 years to the study of close binary systems. The content stems from an international conference held in Litomy l, Czech Republic, to honor his 90th birthday and his massive contributions to the field. This book covers the breakthrough theories that changed how we understand stellar bodies. Professor Kopal revolutionized astronomy by describing binary components as non-spherical stars deformed by gravity. By showing that stellar surfaces follow Roche equipotentials, his research triggered the development of new branches within astronomical science. This text serves as a vital resource for those studying the evolution and physical properties of binary star systems and the gravitational forces that shape them.
